1. The WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF is part of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL and thus of the ETH Domain. WSL focuses on the sustainable use and protection of landscapes and habitats, and a responsible approach to natural hazards. WSL employs approximately 500 people, of whom 130 work at SLF in Davos.
2. The Research Unit Avalanches, Debris flows and Rockfalls investigates the formation, movement and deposition of these three complex geophysical processes. For the Italian – Swiss project “Climate adaptation strategies for natural hazard management – Investigations of frequent avalanches” (STRADA),
3. You will perform field observations, laboratory and full-scale experiments to improve knowledge on snow entrainment and deposition processes in frequent snow avalanches, use theoretical methods to integrate this new knowledge into avalanche dynamics models, and publish your results in international scientific journals.
4. Master or Diploma in engineering or physics; good knowledge of mathematics and programming in C/C++; good English writing skills; independent and scientific work style; experimental background as well as German knowledge are beneficial.
6. Interested? Please send your complete application, including photo, using reference number 622 to Mrs. Madeleine Oberhänsli, Human Resources SLF, Fluelastrasse 11, CH-7260 Davos Dorf, Switzerland
